Disputed Credentials
UFO researchers and witnesses whose educational credentials are
challenged by evidence to the contrary. Some claim advanced degrees from universities that
never heard of them. Others make specific claims about their work
background that cannot be confirmed.
These disputed claims are separate from these people's claims about UFOs,
which may or may not be true and which often cannot be checked.
This page refers only those claims that can be checked and ought to
be easily verifiable here on earth.
Usually they involved inflated resume claims.
The Source below is a link to the document that makes the charges.
For liability reasons, the webmaster is very conservative in allowing
this label to be assigned to a person.
"Probable cause" is required.

See People with Aliases for those who
have used other names.
See Hypothetical Characters for people
whose very existence is questioned, not just their credentials.
See Hoax Allegations for deliberate
deception involving UFO claims. (That page is concerned with false
UFO claims, whereas the links below cover only possibly false
personal background claims.)

Research Inquiry: "Dr. Armen Victorian"
Henry Azadehdel
seems to have reinvented himself as
conspiracy researcher "Dr. Armen Victorian." Not only has he changed his
name but he seems to have obtained a doctorate or M.D. degree in record time.
Where does he claim the "Dr." is from?
